Why did Israel condemn the UK’s sanctions on West Bank settlement exports?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. Israeli officials are expressing anger over the United Kingdom sanctions on exports from settlements in the occupied West Bank. Israel ordered the closure of its longtime allies consulate in Jerusalem. The UK says the sanctions are in response to what it calls terrorist settlers ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, NPR's Kerry Khan reports.
Israel's foreign minister had strong words for the UK sanctions on export produced and illegal settlements in Israel's occupied West Bank. Gideon Saar called the statements by the UK's foreign secretary in support of the measures quote outrageous lies, morally distorted and anti Semitic. He vowed retaliation.
Whoever acts against Israel, Israel will act against them, and they will lose their influence and relevance in this region. Measures against Israel will not go unanswered.
What new documents has New York City released about 9/11 air‑quality risks?
Saar also said the UK's action will hurt tens of thousands of Palestinian workers employed in Israeli settlements. France announced it too will impose sanctions. Carry Con NPR News Tel Aviv.
New York City has settled two lawsuits linked to the air quality risks after the nine eleven terror attacks twenty-five years ago. The city's also releasing documents withheld for decades by past mayors. NPR's Brian Mann reports.
After the nine-eleven attack, much of Lower Manhattan was covered in thick dust. Mayor Zoran Mamdani says past Democratic and Republican city administrations concealed details of the toxic material in that debris.
These are documents that show what the city knew about the toxic air around ground zero.
How did the Miami International Airport cargo‑jet crash occur and who is investigating?
When they knew it and how they acted to limit liability.
Comedian John Stewart campaigned for release of these documents during a press conference. Stewart said acknowledging the devastating impact of toxic air after nine eleven is long overdue.
We've lost three times as many people to nine eleven related illnesses as we did on nine eleven. Three times as many, almost ten thousand people.
On Friday, during a nine eleven ceremony, New York City will hold a moment of silence for those who've died from nine eleven related illnesses. Brian Mann, NPR News, New York.
The Miami-Dade County Sheriff says all five of the people who died in the crash at Miami International Airport were in a van that carried cleaning crews to and from planes. According to the sheriff, the deceased range in age from 47 to 75. Two people remain in critical condition, and a third is in stable condition. The Amazon cargo jet crashed as it tried to land on Sunday afternoon, overrunning its runway by roughly 1,300 feet. It slammed into the van while still on airport property, investigators say, and then smashed through a fence and onto a local street where it also destroyed an SUV.
Why did the U.S. Supreme Court reject Missouri’s congressional‑map challenge?
The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation. Joel Rose, NPR News, Washington.
This is NPR. The Supreme Court has rejected Missouri's push to use a congressional map backed by President Trump in the November election. The court turned down an emergency appeal from Missouri Republican officials. They had hoped the new districts could help them gain a seat and hold on to their slim US House majority in the midterms. Missouri's new districts were used in the August primaries, but the state Supreme Court ruled last week that Missouri must revert to districts adopted after the last census. A controversial decision by college football officials spoiled Western Michigan's upset of rival Michigan over the weekend. NPR's Becky Sullivan reports, the college sports conference that includes Western Michigan, has filed a rare appeal to try and overturn the result.
Western Michigan seemed to have pulled off the first big upset of the season when a Hail Mary attempt by Michigan was called incomplete after the game clock on the TV broadcast appeared to hit zero.
What is the controversy surrounding Western Michigan’s football win and the replay rules?
Then officials determined through the use of replay feeds that were not shown on TV. That in fact there was still one second left for Michigan to try again. On the second attempt, Michigan scored a touchdown that put them ahead thirteen to twelve for the win.
